          A container is not a VM, it is a process that runs in its own filesystem and network bubble. Some global system settings are inherited from the host. To change the time zone of the process that runs in the container, just set the TZ environment variable. This is the standard Unix way to have your own time zone (on a system which can potentially be shared among users from different time zones).
